Jason Christiansen
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His composure needs work. When Christiansen starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Christiansen is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Christiansen has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Christiansen as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
